  23. 13 A. Metes and Bounds(surveyor's map) • The method of identifying property in relationship to its boundaries, distances and angles from a given starting point. • Complicated description that surveyors use. • Metes -a measure of distance between points (feet, yards, rods and chains) • Bounds -starting points, ending points and markers in between used to describe boundaries. a. Natural bounds (rivers, trees, rocks) b. Man-made bounds (canals, roads, stakes or bench marks)

  24. 12 • Directions are based upon angles from a north-south line determined with compass. a. 360 degrees (°) on a compass b. 60 minutes (´)in a degree c. 60 seconds (´´) in a minute

  25. 14 B. Sections and Townships(U.S. Government Survey) • identifies land by sections and townships arrived upon by dividing the state into base lines and meridians.

  26. 14 The three starting points in California are: a. Humboldt Base Line and Meridian b. Mt. Diablo Base Line and Meridian c. San Bernardino Base Line and Meridian

  27. 14 1. Base Lines- run east west from a given starting point and are marked by six mile increments called Ranges. 2. Meridian Lines- run north-south from a given starting point and are marked by six mile increments called Tiers or Township Lines, the resulting grid of squares divides the state into Townships, each containing 36 square miles (six miles by six miles)

  28. 17 Each Township is divided into 36 mile squares called Sections. a. sections are numbered 1 through 36. b. number sequence starts in the upper right-hand (North-West) corner of the of the township c. sequence proceeds across to the left to 6, down to 7, across to the right to 12, down to 13, etc. d. sections can be divided into halves and quarters and each of these can be halved and quartered (and each half and quarter can be halved and quartered, etc.) until the property can be properly described.
